Abstract: |
The results of a geophysical survey carried out by South West Archaeology Ltd. (SWARCH) for land north of Castle Kayle Farm, Hayle, Cornwall. This work was undertaken in support of a planning application. The site is located in the modern civil parish of Hayle, on land immediately to the north of Castle Kayle Farm. There are documentary references to Kayle (de Kahol) from the 13th century onwards, but these are likely to refer to the farm to the west, rather than Castle Kayle. Castle Kayle, like the three small farms named Bandowers, is likely to have been a post-medieval tenement established on land between established medieval settlements. Castle Kayle appears to have formed part of the Manor of Drannick in 1832, and was owned in the 1840s by Edmond Turner Esq. and William Davey Esq. The location of the proposed agricultural shed falls within one of the three adjacent tenements known as Bandowers. The geophysical survey did not identify any anomalies of archaeological significance. However, the site is located immediately to the north of an enclosure ('round') of late Prehistoric and/or Romano-British date, which has a ploughed-out annex to the east. A 3rd century hoard of Roman coins was reported from one of the fields to the west of the round, but the general dearth of archaeological sites in this area probably arises from a lack of fieldwork rather than any genuine absence. On the basis of the geophysical survey the archaeological potential of the site appears to be low, and that the proposed development will have a negligible impact. |
